It is one of those days again where I can’t throw off the feeling that I’m the most thickheaded moronic imbecile on earth. The more I read, the more I realize my ignorance and my weak analytical skills. I’ve been working on trying to understand this freakingly complicated and derivationally intense paper for 2 days. Maybe it’s not complicated, maybe it’s because I haven’t understood how they arrive at certain equations, why they made certain simplifying assumptions and why those assumptions are valid. Arrrggghhh… why don’t people bother explaining their analytical methods these days and just throw massive amounts of equations in their papers?!? How do I know they are correct? How do I know if the substitutions have been inserted correctly and under which conditions will they be valid?!?
Humph. No. This lady here won’t take that rubbish and just assume that every line published is correct. I’ll follow the derivations from the very beginning, proving equation by equation, figuring out the little tricks used, tracing the places where assumptions have been made, simplifications introduced, making sure that they remain valid and agreeable at the later stages. Oh, yes I will. I have all the patience in the world, and all the stubbornness in the universe. Just watch me. May perseverance win!!
